This is an almost shockingly wise essay. I'm glad I've finally read it.
There Is No Mary Problem in ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’
George’s vision of his wife without him is essential to the film, but critics continue to miss its true—and profound—meaning.

It's a quality piece of journalism, it efficiently lays out the cruelty and dishonesty of the Trump admin. But if you've been paying attention to prior coverage, there's no big revelation. The real significance is how many people will see it. And I think this debacle has only made that number go up.
And a terrible political decision, too. That story just got the Streisand Effect.

If you're not trans, I don't think I can fully explain how important this is.
It's so powerful that one of the most circulated science media publications in the world has come out and said "trans children are real and providing transition care improves their lives." That's groundbreaking.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.
And trans lives are grounded in reality.
We see y'all. No matter what.
